Day 2 of Eureka4 Prague was an afternoon of fast action, from the primary riffle until the last river. AN INCREDIBLE 542 players had returned. Ten levels later, after the dust had settled, there have been just 57 players remaining. A COMPLETE of 89.5% of the sphere were sent to the rail with over half leaving before the cash bubble. People who did become some of the 255 players who finished within the money, took home at least €1,800. Meanwhile our Day 3 players will all be guaranteed no less than €3,730, with eyes at the first prize of €280,000.
The chip leader on the end of the day is former EPT9 Barcelona finalist Antonin Duda. The Czech player started the day 299th out of the 542 players that had returned, with just 51,200 chips (32 big blinds at the beginning of the day). However the last two levels saw him shoot as much as the very top of the leaderboard. He's one among six players that finished above 1,000,000 in chips, the others being Athanasios Xenodochidis, (1,731,000), Lucas Blanco, (1,325,000), Balasz Botond, (1,170,000), Periklis Charmpilas, (1,160,000) and Dario Sammartino, (1,159,000).
Also still in are former UKIPT London champion Sergio Aido (707,000), and Jose Carlos Garcia (648,000) - the latter having led for many of the day before losing a large pot on the end with a couple and flush draw against Blanco's two pair.
Unfortunately for Team PokerStars Pro, all three members, Eugene Katchalov, Martin Hruby and Julien Brecard, were knocked out of the tournament. However, they all managed to make it into the cash.
Other players who got this far included Ivan Soshnikov, who notably chose to spend the bubble playing the €50,000 Super-High Roller event while blinding out of the primary. It wasn't a terrible loss to the Russian as he ended Day 1 of the Super High Roller because the overall chip leader.
